Mick Schultz Interview

What are the best tips for upcoming producers?

Find your sound and keep pushing your boundaries. The way the internet is there is so much new music coming out everyday that the only real way to stand out is be unique and put out the best quality music you can.

Is there anything you have to say on the way the music industry is at the moment?

The “industry” is constantly trying to figure out how to adapt to the digital world. At this moment artists and producers just have to be thankful they have so many platforms to release their music on and reach new fans.

What do you think about electronic dance music?

Growing up on a lot of R&B music I didn’t listen to a lot of electronic dance music. But as I started to produce I really fell in love with it. Just electronic music in general is so limitless. It’s always a challenge to try and make that synth sound no one has heard yet, and that’s whats so fun.

A lot of people talk about having a favorite VST/synth, is this important, and if so what’s yours?

I don’t think its important to have a “favorite” synth. It’s just about knowing how to use what you have. People that have unique sounds have them because they know how to use the synth’s/plugins/VST’s they have. I love the Juno-60, Moog Voyager, for plugin’s I use Omnisphere a ton, Massive a lot. Im into re-sampling sounds I make to create new crazy stuff!

Any plans for the future?

Continue to release new music for the world to hear as consistently as possible. That’s what I enjoy the most!
